Veteran Nigerian actor Tom Njeamanze has publicly appealed to the general public for financial assistance as he battles prostate cancer.

In a heartfelt and emotional plea shared via a viral video that surfaced online on Tuesday, the seasoned Nollywood star revealed the critical nature of his condition and his urgent need for funds to undergo surgery.

Currently receiving treatment in a hospital, Njeamanze appeared visibly weak in the video, where he expressed deep concern for his health and called on fans, friends, colleagues, and well-meaning Nigerians to support him in this difficult time. His plea has sparked an outpouring of sympathy, support, and renewed calls for a better healthcare safety net for Nollywood veterans who are often left to fend for themselves in times of medical emergencies.

In a deeply emotional video shared on his official Instagram page, Nigerian filmmaker Stanley Ontop revealed that beloved veteran Nollywood actor, Tom Njeamanze, is currently battling prostate cancer and urgently needs financial assistance to undergo life-saving surgery. Tom Njeamanze, known for his iconic roles in classic Nollywood films like Pounds and Dollars and Issakaba, is reportedly in critical condition and receiving treatment while awaiting the necessary funds for surgical intervention.

The video appeal has sparked an outpouring of concern from fans, colleagues, and well-meaning Nigerians, with many urging the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and other relevant bodies to step in and support one of Nollywood’s finest. Stanley Ontop emphasized that “no amount is too small” as they seek urgent help from the public to save the ailing actor.

As one of the industry’s most recognizable faces during Nollywood’s golden era, Tom Njeamanze’s condition has reignited conversations around healthcare support and the welfare of Nigerian entertainers who have given so much to the film industry over the decades.

He said, “Hello guys, one of our actor Tom Njeamanze is sick and needs urgent surgery.

“Sir Tom Njamanze has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and he needs your support to undergo surgery. Nothing is too small, fams. Help our legend live again.”

It was reported that actor Tom Njemanze is known for his performances in Issakaba, Tokunboh, Atosa, Pounds and Dollars, Osuofia in London, Igbotic Love, and Brain Box.

This heartbreaking news comes just four months after another veteran actor, John Amaefule, made a public appeal for financial assistance while battling a partial stroke and cancer, further highlighting the alarming trend of aging Nollywood stars facing life-threatening health issues with little to no structured support. The repeated need for crowdfunding has reignited ongoing conversations about the welfare of veteran entertainers and the urgent need for a sustainable healthcare plan within the entertainment industry.

Tom Njeamanze’s condition has once again brought attention to the vulnerabilities many veteran actors face in Nigeria, especially after decades of shaping the nation’s film culture. Many are now calling on industry stakeholders, government agencies, and the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to take swift action in providing support and long-term solutions for the health and wellbeing of Nollywood legends.
